Showing off his pulsometer on his thumb. Taking pictures was one way to keep his mind off of things!
When giving him the breathing treatment (face mask with smokey epinephrine pouring out) he panicked and kept screaming, "Mommy! Mommy!" I almost started crying. He kicked the nurse and the stuff spilled all over me--so we had to do it again. This time I talked him through it and he almost fell asleep. It's not supposed to make you drowsy. He was just so tired by 1:00 am.
After that traumatic experience, the nurse gave him some dinosaur stickers. Each one had a picture of a dinosaur and a few facts. We talked about what it meant to be a carnivore, insectivore...etc. Anyway, after telling him about it, I asked him what each dinosaur would want to eat. It was always the same--yogurt! What a goofball :)
Some funny things he's said lately: We were in the bathroom around 3:00 am. He goes pee by himself but needs me to sit with him when he goes poo. He was sitting there looking at his legs which are covered with dry patches and he said, "I have owies, but...in spite of that, I just need to go poopy." It was hilarious!

Austin is like a crazy animal. He eats everything with his whole hand and then smears it all over his face and hair...every time! I love him! When he's hungry he'll climb up on my lap and start sucking his thumb as hard as he can. I sure do love my boys!

Nothing like visiting the hospital! Sorry about that--few more visits and he will be a champ :-)
Poor Tyson! Hope he's feeling better!
No fun! The hospital is not a place you want to be at 1 in the morning. I'm glad he didn't have to stay overnight. Poor kid!
